This is one thing that I'm afraid of based on the last game. Although, our bench guys did great, and they do deserve some playing time, I do not want to turn into the Memphis Grizzlies. There can be very negative impacts from playing 10 players significant minutes. The reason Songaila and Barnes were so effective, was that they played almost the ENTIRE game. The Kings system works best when guys get lots of minutes and get into a flow and rhythm in the game. Once Pedja, Webber, and Bobby are back, the bench won't be able to play 30+ minutes in a game. Part of Minnesota's problem yesterday, was that they were subbing in players every few minutes and no one got into a rhythm. There are very few players who can be an impact in limited minutes (Bobby Jackson, and Troy Hudson are two). I loved Mobley's quote about Flip Saunders... I think it says a lot about this, and may explain why Adelman gives his starters so many minutes:
"I was just paying attention to us, but the way (Saunders) was throwing around guys, I don't see how they can get their rhythm."
